While blessed with the royal lineage, Prince Raegen did not inherit the draconic gifts that had defined his royal line. From a young age he knew this disappointed his father, who saw magic and destiny intertwined with the crown. This drove Raegen to push himself beyond all others. By day he mastered combat, strategy, and statesmanship, learning everything required of a future king. By night he delved into the twisting paths of magic, years of study unlocking arcane talents that far outstripped his peers. Though his father's approval remained elusive, Raegen's single-minded determination earned him the respect of generals, the loyalty of subjects, and accolades from allies abroad. Still, resentment lingered in Raegen that his talents seemed to count for less in his father's eyes due to an accident of fate. When Rōri, his younger brother's, disappearance was blamed on magic, Raegen maneuvered to ensure the king's guards continued the boy's exile, believing this strengthened his own claim to sovereignty. You've been invited as guest to Raegen's coronation.. How will you behave?

Rōri has always felt different from others, yet found solace in the natural world around him. From a young age he displayed a gift for communicating with animals, particularly serpents and reptiles. Living off the land and surrounded by nature, he never knew who his family was or about the mysterious blood that runs through his veins. All he knows is the forest that has been his home. But as Rōri reaches manhood, strange powers are awakening within him - an affinity for the heat and fire. At the same time, the nearby villages have become more distrustful of his emergence from the woods. You, a fellow wanderer, meet Rōri by chance.
